Day 5.....intensity

Intensity seems to be the name of the game for the next 21 days.  Officially a student with Plymouth University, which allows me access to some the of the best resources in Europe!  I am on information overload to the point that I needed a glass of prosecco at local italian cafe down the street afterwards:)  The weather has been super duper hot and humid, just like home.  I wish it to rain, just to relieve the humidity!  Overall a successful day of learning the do's, don'ts, musts and shouldn'ts of Planet Transart!

Day 4....Cultural excursion with my artist tribe

Today marks the first day of an awesome 2 year journey.  I met my fellow MFA's and what an amazing group of people!  In 8 hours we achieved 4 galleries, 5 trains, hundreds of artists, 1 market, 1 demonstration march, 2 german beers and a good ol' fashion german dinner.  Met some remarkable people and will enjoy the next few years of corresponding with them all over the world:)

Day 3....Largest art store in Berlin!

Today I ventured across Berlin to find my studio/classroom for the next 4 weeks, SUCCESS!!!  Then my amazing neighbor not only loaned me a bike but took me to the biggest art store in Berlin.  It is a cross between Dick Blick and Ikea, who doesn't like that hybrid????  Got some paints and canvas paper to start making mini paintings for big guys later:)  A bottle of wine and new paints, what else does a girl need?  :)    Too funny that the first thing I spied when I got there was the Farnsworth house in Plano, Illinois!!!!!  The world, its small:)

Day 2....Berlin

I have arrived in Berlin!  Amazing architecture, people, food and art!  I managed to go the grocery store, phone store and semi-master the Bahn.  A sweet little apartment that opens into a beautiful garden courtyard.  Neighbors are great!  Excited to get the ball rolling for school and see more of the districts of Berlin:)

Day 1....first stop Dublin

Watching the sunrise as we land in Ireland!   Next stop is Berlin!  

7 days.....

The last puzzle piece of my European adventure has finally fallen into place!  Can Serrat Residency north of Barcelona!  Looking forward to the amazingness that lies ahead!  7 days and counting!

Poros Island, Greece!

Excited about my adventure on Poros Island, Greece!  This will be the view from my sweet little apartment!  Beaches, boats and amazing food, this portion of my adventure is a lil vacay:)   Visits to Athens and touring the island will be on my to-do!
